Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Feather-Horned Beetle sighting in Sydney on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 520th most-seen of the 742 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Feather-Horned Beetle in Sydney on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Feather-Horned Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Sydney, in our data
Sydney is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Feather-Horned Beetle sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the Feather-Horned Beetle that you can see in Sydney (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Variable Ladybird Beetle (about 20%), Fungus-Eating Ladybird (about 20%) and Argentinian Scarab (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Feather-Horned Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Sydney (8 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
